CONTRACTUAL CLAIMS AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Course Description
The ability to be able to negotiate effectively is a critical competency in both work and life situations. An effective negotiator will draw upon a range of communication and interpersonal skills as well as focusing on issues of the process, planning and objective setting. Typically, negotiations occur at both the individual and team level internally within peer groups and with employees as well as externally with suppliers and customers. Closely associated with the negotiation process is the possibility of disagreement and dispute conflict; so it is appropriate to consider how best to reduce the risk of disputes and how to resolve then if they do occur.
The Training Course Will Highlight ?

This course will cover they key stages of negotiation, consider how disputes arise and provide an effective toolbox of skills to enable a structured process. The delegates will be introduced to different negotiation styles and tactics and learn how to recognize and counter them. There will be an opportunity to carry out a self-assessment of present skills over the whole range of the negotiation topic and delegates will consider the differences between negotiating individually or as part of a team. The programme culminates in a realistic dispute resolution case study and the delegates are encouraged to reach an agreement before the forces of law intervene in the dispute.
